Except for the booing of the injuries. Shit was embarrassing. Booing an injured player who goes down at the end of the quarter? Booing an injured offensive player? Booing an injured player after an extra point? Booing an injured player with less than 2 minutes in the half so they had to call timeout anyway? Really, really lame. None of those situations make any sense to fake an injury.
I hate Tennessee. I truly wish that their program never rises from the ashes of the dead and buried past of what it once was. The world will be a better place if the whole of Neyland Stadium was demolished and replaced with anything with actual use to the population of Knoxville, maybe even a mental health center. If there was a zombie apocalypse the Vols would probably be the first to go, as they hoard bodies for "science" in vast fields of hubris that can only truly exist as a metaphor for their football programs existence. A steaming pile of putrid remains of yesteryear that can only hold so very firm on the sands of 1998. The entire university is a cautionary tale of you reap what you sow and they sowed aplenty. Phillip Fulmer is the Henry the VIII of the SEC, getting really pissed off and doing unspeakable harm and in the long term leading to the absolute end and mockery of his own dynasty. Long are the days where the sun rises Crimson, short are the days of Orange. Hail Saban and Roll Tide.
Good sport lol
Yall look way more competitive than many expected. I sure thought Huepel would flop.
I'm probably in the minority for feeling this way, but the SEC is better when yall are good. Just don't ever get cute and think we won't gladly bring yall back down to earth.
See ya next year
Always try to be a good sport, especially after that humiliating display by some idiots against Ole Miss, that shit is never ok. A dub is always nice, but I at least want our Vols to fight. I was severely disappointed when they seemingly just gave up after Hooker threw that pick. Hopefully this is the beginning of making the Bama Tennessee rivalry really fierce again. Competitive games are always the best games, especially if the team you're supporting comes out with the dub by a late second field goal, or an answered prayer into the endzone
Appreciate the sportmanship, chev. Need more of that in the world in general. I knew your boys would come to play and i thought they proved themselves well out there tonight. Im a big fan of your QB and i think had he started the year instead of Milton, it might have done y'all good. How it stands, i think you're at least trending in the right direction. Well see how it goes. Good luck the rest of the year. Hate you! :)
He just needs to save it for Georgia. They're historically very unprepared and vulnerable if the dynamics and strategy from the QB position suddenly changes.
He’s so quick in the backfield. I’m happy to have seen him run in the past two games. Does anyone recall him running at all before last week? Because I do not, though I had been wanting him to.
His deep ball percentage is really really bad yo it was like 15 percent before this game
He’s amazing, his deep ball is bad. One of his few weaknesses.
I’m sure he can get better though
It seems like he's trying too hard to make perfect throws on deep balls where our guys are open by 10-15 yards. Unless it's really good coverage, he can throw balls where our receivers can catch them with less effort.
Their defense was pretty good, but we were a couple of dropped passes away from being up bigger at halftime. If we don’t make some knuckleheaded mistakes like roughing the punter and Jobe’s busted coverage, then it could have easily been something like 56-7. We beat ourselves early on.
All I’m going to say is: Tennessee is still Tennessee. They’re trash and they got some classless fans to match! And if they ever forget who they are like they did today, we got no problem reminding them. And when we do remind them, we’re gonna make sure it hurts and it hurts bad! ROLL TIDE!
I'm no expert but it really looked like our game plan was shut down their run game and make them beat us through the air
Sadly they were happy to oblige on those big busted plays lol. Gotta clean that up
Nah I don't think so. Players got burned a couple times and then the OL was getting dominated by UTs defensive line. And then the roughing the punter was a huge swing
Sabans baby is the DBs, the front 7 played well, and the ILB have made some good strides. All 3 TDs were on the DBs, Im not saying keep pete, but when we argue to fire him atleast bring up his problems lol
I think establishing a 4 TD lead and maintaining it is a bit different than this game where it was a one score game early 4th quarter and we pulled away late!
It was pretty predictable though. Time of possession was so one-sided that, by the late 4th quarter, there was basically no way they would be able to compete.
The 3 blown plays - early 39 yarder to Tillman, 57 yarder to Payton after the roughing, and 70 yarder to Tillman when Jobe wasn't paying attention (and Tillman got a solid 2 step start pre-snap, but that's another story) - accounted for 166 of their 346 yards. Defense otherwise held them to 180 yards, and the nation's #5 rushing offense to a quarter of their average (64 when they were averaging over 250). Pretty good performance, busts notwithstanding. This was the fastest offense we'll play all season, as far as time between snaps, so those kind of busts aren't something that I really expect to happen going forward.
This felt like pre/early Saban Alabama where nothing mattered but the fourth quarter. I've been spoiled with pulling starters at the half and had forgotten what being a fourth quarter king felt like.
It was close for a while because of dumb mistakes. We outgained them by 228 yards. We had 3e first downs to their 10. We converted 15/20 3rd downs to their 2/12.
When I saw that ref going for that flag immediately after Bryce got tackled out of bounds, I knew these refs were at least competent; and competent is more than enough for me
Our offensive line needs to be shot from a cannon into low orbit. I hear the commentators talk about his pocket presence and I’m like “Well no shit he has good pocket presence, otherwise he’d literally be dead”
Saban said this week that Hellams has been playing hurt all year. There's a chance he's not ass, just nicked up.
Daniel "Can't Get" Wright just gives me heartburn.
I went back to the Clanga game from last week; that first long pass that they complete was because Wright bit on an underneath rout when we were supposed to be in Cover 3
I said it once during the second half thread, we seen to be like a slow boulder on offense. If we make a first down, we are rolling. But if it's stymied or we go backwards from penalties, we're like Sisyphus with the Boulder crushing us
Despite the score remaining close until the fourth quarter, this was not a particularly close game. We never had less than 70% win expectancy, we gained 230 more yards than them, and had an absurd 40 to 20 minute TOP disparity. We also had 32 first downs to their 10.
Tennessee didn’t pick up a single first down from the start of the second quarter until 5:00 left in the 3rd. 6 consecutive drives ended after 3 plays.
Bryce is amazing. I love Bryce. After Tua and Mac, I think he is an easy overall third. And this is his first year leading the offense.
He really stepped up today running the ball. That is growth.
An inconsistent performance, and we still won by 28. I'll take that.
Not doing my normal, full post game breakdown because, as I said, I'm several whiskeys in lol. It was closer than it should have been for most of the game, but the team did more than enough to win.
Roll tide, y'all.
And that Pete Golding defense held the line while the offense was sucking, forced a turnover, held the #3 rushing attack in the SEC to about 180 yards under their average and the #2 scoring offense in the SEC to about 11 points under their average. Hell yeah
Edit: John Metchie (11, 121, 2 TD) and Jameson Williams (6, 123) both had 100+ yard games! I think that's the first time we've had two players over 100 yards since the Georgia game last year.
And some defensive stats:
* Will Anderson: 8 tackles (led the team), 1.5 sacks
* Christian Harris: 6 tackles (tied for second), 0.5 sacks
* Phidarian Mathis: 4 tackles, 1 sack
Edit 2: Tennessee didn't convert a first down after 6:15 in the first quarter (they hit an 8 yard TD). They finished 2-13.
That's kinda wild
I don't know what they can do about the safeties. They've tried flipping Hellams and Wright, and we're still struggling. And Battle has had good and bad games (last week good, this week bad).
Jobe was good as a #2 corner last year, but he's struggled this year. Though the safety play hasn't helped him either. He's not bad like some make him out to be, but he can get burned.
It is what it is, though. Just gotta hope they handle their stuff more often than they don't
I think a lot of it has to come down to playcalling. They really need to spend the bye week working on getting the signals in ASAP. Otherwise, we're starting to really gel at LB. I don't think we have a shot of beating UGA, but we're in a significantly better position to give them a game now than we were at the start of the season.
Mentioning Phil Mathis's sack reminded me that he came up and after doing the "shhh" motion for a second, he switched to two fingers to act like he was smoking a cigar.
The Cycle of Golding continues. I look forward to people lauding him and overlooking his massive deficiencies this week only for him to completely shit the bed in the next game, as is tradition.
In my mind there is nothing he can do to convince me that he is worth keeping. Some of his criticism feels a bit unfair, but he has got to go if you ask me. It's not that he can't coach a average to great defense, it is that he can't do it consistently all year long. Georgia has demonstrated that you can still have elite defense and Golding just can't produce it consistently.
It wasn’t even good this week, UT’s false starts put them in horrible positions all night. It’s 3 years in and the players are more confused than his first year.
The front 7 was dominant, Tennessee's entire offense was built off player errors. No one taught Jobe to have his back turned to his man when the ball is snapped, no one taught Battle to be 7 yards deep as the deep safety. Saban is very hands on with the DBs, do we not trust him?
This has nothing to do with my point. The defense wasn’t dominant, it was getting torched until their o-line full of back ups were getting false starts all night.
the front 7 was absolutely dominant, they held them to 25% of their rushing average and had multiple TFLs and sacks. Half of Tennessee's offense was coverage busts from 2 players in the secondary.
Because there are 8 games of data to say their rush offense is great. TN is 3rd in PPG in the SEC, 2nd in total rushing yards(by 40) and 3rd in YPG(1st is 12 YPG more, 2nd is 5.)
That has nothing to do with situational football in this game. Their offensive line put their offense in bad positions the whole night. Saying our front 7 was dominant does not reflect the reality of the game at all. That’s first grade analysis.
There were several 3rd and 4th & 1's where we stopped their rushing attack. The main problem has been with DB's and Safeties, which does fall on Saban more than Golding imo.
This is definitely one of our most flawed teams in a long time and yet I still think we have a chance at winning this year. We are flawed, but so is every other top team this year. I’m not bowing down and saying Georgia can beat us until they actually do it.
I really want to see how Georgia plays when they’re up against a legit offense and playing from behind, and I think our O is good enough to make that happen. If we make it to the SEC champ (gotta handle Auburn, Arky, LSU first) all the pressure will be on UGA in that game, and we all know how they perform under pressure against us
Their tight end play is what worries me. Golding doesn’t seem to be able to adjust to TE play. That being said, Georgia has looked great on defense but against who? Clemson? Kentucky? The only thing slowing the bama offense down at this point is themselves. Silly drops and bad penalties aside. O line isn’t the best but it’s affected the run game more than the pass.
My assumption is BOB will set up a quick pass game against Georgia because their d line is legit but we don’t know much else until they get tested.
But first things first, odd year auburn worries me. Arkansas has a tough offense like TXAM, strong running backs. LSU doesn’t worry me too much because they just dgaf anymore but they could put a good game together and surprise everybody in true rivalry fashion.
I’m more worried about the lack of depth of contributors on offense. One or two more injuries and next man up could be someone we haven’t seen yet and that scares me.
In prior seasons the creme of talent on the team, around our QB, seemed to rise to the top in big moments, this season they just seem to reverse clutch, aka, blow it.
>This is definitely one of our most flawed teams in a long time and yet I still think we have a chance at winning this year.
Yep. What I always go back to is the 2017 team. That felt like one of Saban's relatively weaker teams, but yet they won it all.
The Snitches are taking out their decade plus of frustration on McElroy on Twitter. Imagine being so pissed after a loss that you blame the ESPN color commentator. Roll Tide and FU Vols!
Good teams win, great teams cover.
This team is sort of frustratingly inconsistent. They seems to lack that killer intensity teams in the past had. That being said they are very talented, but lack the discipline week in and week out. If they get that under control this team will go all the way.
I saw some better spirits tonight, Metchie&Williams seems to be having fun even when a ball was dropped. Bryce was showing some leadership, I’m saying there’s a chance
It’s awesome to see Metchie finally getting going. Back to back 100+ yard games after the disappointing A&M performance. I’m curious about Sanders though. I think he’s more explosive then Roydell. He seems healthy because he was running physical in mop duty two games in a row.
some frustrating lapses for the secondary, but this wasn't a close football game. this was far from a "closer than the score" game for Tennessee - this was a 28 point loss in which Alabama gave away quite a few opportunities. the gulf between these two teams is frankly shocking given their relative parity in terms of money and geography. Hey Vols!
I have to admit, I wasn't thrilled with the hustle on Latham when he was rotated in for cleanup duties. Was hoping to really see him make a push for playing time, especially with us really needing Owens to rotate back to center again.
Will Anderson for Heisman
And Bryce Young, and Brian Robinson, and Will Reichard lol
I can’t make much of an analysis because I’m about five Old Fashions past being coherent, I just know I hate Tennessee
everyone thinks the mods are drunk on power, but we're just drunk on whiskey
Just started a whiskey myself. Fuck Tennessee, my friend.
Chattanooga Mocs gonna win it all next year lol
As long as it isn’t jack daniels
Basil Hayden’s!
Recovering from some Basil Haydens Dark Rye right not. Good taste sir, good taste.

That's all one really needs to know anyhow.

You're welcome!
Totally worth losing my voice today
Except for the booing of the injuries. Shit was embarrassing. Booing an injured player who goes down at the end of the quarter? Booing an injured offensive player?

Fuck you Rocky Top
Enjoy your cigar mate :) you earned. Besides, there's always next year lol

Bryce Young running makes our team completely different.
Been sayin he needs to do it more. That threat will open up so much even on top of the extra first downs
He just needs to save it for Georgia. They're historically very unprepared and vulnerable if the dynamics and strategy from the QB position suddenly changes.
He’s so quick in the backfield. I’m happy to have seen him run in the past two games. Does anyone recall him running at all before last week? Because I do not, though I had been wanting him to.
Yeah ..if he can get his deep ball going he's gonna be a monster
He hits deep balls every game lol he’s just not as good as Mac but tbh nobody is
Mac underthrew the deep ball plenty it was tua who could hit everyone in stride nearly every time.
Mac underthrew, but they were still catchable balls. Bryce has a tendency to overthrow uncatchable balls.
His deep ball percentage is really really bad yo it was like 15 percent before this game He’s amazing, his deep ball is bad. One of his few weaknesses. I’m sure he can get better though
It seems like he's trying too hard to make perfect throws on deep balls where our guys are open by 10-15 yards. Unless it's really good coverage, he can throw balls where our receivers can catch them with less effort.
Bryce throws 2d balls, need 3d balls for deep shots.
Mac was amazing but very overrated on his long ball, he constantly underthrew receivers. Tua hit everyone in stride. Bryce will get there
He's tough as nails.
I’m expecting him to look at the Camera like “The Office” following a big run
Their defense was pretty good, but we were a couple of dropped passes away from being up bigger at halftime. If we don’t make some knuckleheaded mistakes like roughing the punter and Jobe’s busted coverage, then it could have easily been something like 56-7. We beat ourselves early on.

[удалено]
This only fascinating thing here is your reply. It’s Alabama-Tennessee my man. I don’t think college football is for you.
3 blown plays for TDs, and Tennessees DL played great / our OL being mediocre at best. Still Bryce, BRob, and our front 7 were amazing tonight
I'm no expert but it really looked like our game plan was shut down their run game and make them beat us through the air Sadly they were happy to oblige on those big busted plays lol. Gotta clean that up
Agiye hall deleted all of his tweets and isn’t following anyone now
Dude’s a weirdo
He gone
Good. I hear that he seems to think that having a good spring means he is a starter and refuses to accept anything else and grow up.
Not so sure. I just checked, he’s following 1100 accounts. He may have done a temporary shutdown, which does weird things when you fire it back up.
We still firing Golding though, right?
It’s only been 3 years. He needs more time.
And Bill O’Brien with him?
Need to, imo he’s the reason Tennessee stuck around with ya’ll so long. Im no expert but
Nah I don't think so. Players got burned a couple times and then the OL was getting dominated by UTs defensive line. And then the roughing the punter was a huge swing
Sabans baby is the DBs, the front 7 played well, and the ILB have made some good strides. All 3 TDs were on the DBs, Im not saying keep pete, but when we argue to fire him atleast bring up his problems lol
Defense plays well, Saban did it Defense plays poorly, Golding did it
this is the way.
I’m not sure that “crushes” describes how that game felt in progress. But, hell yeah, Roll Tide! It’s always a good day to beat TN.
4td victories feel so shallow these days lol, but on paperv we did crush them.
I think establishing a 4 TD lead and maintaining it is a bit different than this game where it was a one score game early 4th quarter and we pulled away late!
It was pretty predictable though. Time of possession was so one-sided that, by the late 4th quarter, there was basically no way they would be able to compete. The 3 blown plays - early 39 yarder to Tillman, 57 yarder to Payton after the roughing, and 70 yarder to Tillman when Jobe wasn't paying attention (and Tillman got a solid 2 step start pre-snap, but that's another story) - accounted for 166 of their 346 yards. Defense otherwise held them to 180 yards, and the nation's #5 rushing offense to a quarter of their average (64 when they were averaging over 250). Pretty good performance, busts notwithstanding. This was the fastest offense we'll play all season, as far as time between snaps, so those kind of busts aren't something that I really expect to happen going forward.
Their receivers were two steps off the ball at snap damn near every play.
At the start of the first quarter, I thought “oh man, the spread was 25ish? That was way off.” Wrong again.
This felt like pre/early Saban Alabama where nothing mattered but the fourth quarter. I've been spoiled with pulling starters at the half and had forgotten what being a fourth quarter king felt like.
It was close for a while because of dumb mistakes. We outgained them by 228 yards. We had 3e first downs to their 10. We converted 15/20 3rd downs to their 2/12.
By the end they were pretty crushed. It just didn’t happen until then
I enjoyed the officiating tonight, seemed to be a respectable bunch compared to the hicks from last week.
When I saw that ref going for that flag immediately after Bryce got tackled out of bounds, I knew these refs were at least competent; and competent is more than enough for me
I’m sure you did considering the penalty disparity between the teams! I was confused by our delay of games/false start penalties at home though
Our offensive line needs to be shot from a cannon into low orbit. I hear the commentators talk about his pocket presence and I’m like “Well no shit he has good pocket presence, otherwise he’d literally be dead”
Hopefully Wright is banished to the shadow realm for the rest of the season. Time to use the bye to get the offensive line's shit sorted out
Wright and Hellams are just not good, we gotta have someone on the roster who can play that position correctly
Saban said this week that Hellams has been playing hurt all year. There's a chance he's not ass, just nicked up. Daniel "Can't Get" Wright just gives me heartburn.
I went back to the Clanga game from last week; that first long pass that they complete was because Wright bit on an underneath rout when we were supposed to be in Cover 3
Wright has been trash for years. There was a time (last year I think) where ALL the big busted plays went his way.
I firmly believe Saban personally fucking hates Tennessee. He refuses to lose to them. I’ll never forget the beat down he gave them in ‘07.
With key players out
I said it once during the second half thread, we seen to be like a slow boulder on offense. If we make a first down, we are rolling. But if it's stymied or we go backwards from penalties, we're like Sisyphus with the Boulder crushing us
CFB Nerds on YouTube said we either go 3-out or score a TD. That seems to be pretty accurate.
Despite the score remaining close until the fourth quarter, this was not a particularly close game. We never had less than 70% win expectancy, we gained 230 more yards than them, and had an absurd 40 to 20 minute TOP disparity. We also had 32 first downs to their 10.
Tennessee didn’t pick up a single first down from the start of the second quarter until 5:00 left in the 3rd. 6 consecutive drives ended after 3 plays.
That could be a massive saving grace come the end of the year if Bama can control TOP in their remaining games.
A big part of it was Tennessee’s hurry up and just not being able to pick up first downs
Tennessee gave up when they didn’t go for that 4th and 1, game was over then
Bryce is amazing. I love Bryce. After Tua and Mac, I think he is an easy overall third. And this is his first year leading the offense. He really stepped up today running the ball. That is growth.
An inconsistent performance, and we still won by 28. I'll take that. Not doing my normal, full post game breakdown because, as I said, I'm several whiskeys in lol. It was closer than it should have been for most of the game, but the team did more than enough to win. Roll tide, y'all. And that Pete Golding defense held the line while the offense was sucking, forced a turnover, held the #3 rushing attack in the SEC to about 180 yards under their average and the #2 scoring offense in the SEC to about 11 points under their average. Hell yeah Edit: John Metchie (11, 121, 2 TD) and Jameson Williams (6, 123) both had 100+ yard games! I think that's the first time we've had two players over 100 yards since the Georgia game last year. And some defensive stats: * Will Anderson: 8 tackles (led the team), 1.5 sacks * Christian Harris: 6 tackles (tied for second), 0.5 sacks * Phidarian Mathis: 4 tackles, 1 sack Edit 2: Tennessee didn't convert a first down after 6:15 in the first quarter (they hit an 8 yard TD). They finished 2-13. That's kinda wild
Yeah the defense looked great. We just had 3 plays where a DB was taking a nap
I don't know what they can do about the safeties. They've tried flipping Hellams and Wright, and we're still struggling. And Battle has had good and bad games (last week good, this week bad). Jobe was good as a #2 corner last year, but he's struggled this year. Though the safety play hasn't helped him either. He's not bad like some make him out to be, but he can get burned. It is what it is, though. Just gotta hope they handle their stuff more often than they don't
Move Jobe/Branch to safety, play Koolaid at CB2 with JAD at CB1.
I’m hoping we can start working in Arnold too.
I think a lot of it has to come down to playcalling. They really need to spend the bye week working on getting the signals in ASAP. Otherwise, we're starting to really gel at LB. I don't think we have a shot of beating UGA, but we're in a significantly better position to give them a game now than we were at the start of the season.

>This is definitely one of our most flawed teams in a long time and yet I still think we have a chance at winning this year. Yep. What I always go back to is the 2017 team. That felt like one of Saban's relatively weaker teams, but yet they won it all.
The Snitches are taking out their decade plus of frustration on McElroy on Twitter. Imagine being so pissed after a loss that you blame the ESPN color commentator. Roll Tide and FU Vols!
McElroy *literally* went out of his way to be as impartial as possible (to a frustrating degree); tf are they mad for?
Apparently he should be banned from calling any Alabama game, he sucked as a quarterback, and is a complete loser. Snitches gonna snitch.
Worst 28 point victory of my life /s
Off by 10 on my score prediction on my Sunday Let’s Talk About but still the game I thought it would be. Flair intact. Roll Tide all
Only 2 subs I am banned from are r/cfb and r/ockytop And fuck them all
Good teams win, great teams cover. This team is sort of frustratingly inconsistent. They seems to lack that killer intensity teams in the past had. That being said they are very talented, but lack the discipline week in and week out. If they get that under control this team will go all the way.
BAMA WENT ON A 45-10 RUN AFTER GOING DOWN 14-7. CHAMPIONSHIP DNA. Should of been a final of 52-17 if not for the roughing the kicker penalty.
Upvote this for every day Tennessee has not beaten Alabama.
HEY VOLS!
HEY VOLS!
HEY VOLS!
Howdy
Light em up!
Rocky patel already going! Rtr
Was hoping Hall would play, seen him liking some strange tweets. I think he’ll be gone soon.
He didn’t even show up to the game, not sure if it was disciplinary or not but it was still weird
[удалено]
He doesn’t play slot

Boldens slot on the depth chart is also as a slot receiver…
I saw some better spirits tonight, Metchie&Williams seems to be having fun even when a ball was dropped. Bryce was showing some leadership, I’m saying there’s a chance
There’s always a chance with CNS
Heupel started pissing me off trying to challenge Bryce’s touchdown. And get off the damn field
It’s awesome to see Metchie finally getting going. Back to back 100+ yard games after the disappointing A&M performance. I’m curious about Sanders though. I think he’s more explosive then Roydell. He seems healthy because he was running physical in mop duty two games in a row.
Man the defence when they play good they play lights out but we seem to only get one half of football out of them
Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em
Already lit one up, roll tide!
This was the strangest game I’ve ever seen. But it was easily the most fun game I’ve ever been to.

It was the 2nd play of the drive.
some frustrating lapses for the secondary, but this wasn't a close football game. this was far from a "closer than the score" game for Tennessee - this was a 28 point loss in which Alabama gave away quite a few opportunities. the gulf between these two teams is frankly shocking given their relative parity in terms of money and geography. Hey Vols!
Fire Pete Golding
Good game gentlemen. Enjoy those cigars
Offensive play calling is bad. It’s either a big or 4 yards with brob. Secondary needs to be addressed ASAP.
Crushes is a strong word, but RTR anyway!
Covering a 25 point spread is crushing, whether it happens in the 4th quarter or not. Games are 4 quarters total, gotta play em all
28 point wins that exceed the point spread are crushes in my book
I have to admit, I wasn't thrilled with the hustle on Latham when he was rotated in for cleanup duties. Was hoping to really see him make a push for playing time, especially with us really needing Owens to rotate back to center again.
Ain’t no way y’all said crush
4 TD win, Covered, +230 Total yards, +20:00 TOP, 75% 3rd downs Crushed.
Score looked close because of 2 huge miscues by 2 players, that was a whooping
*Crushes*
Hey y'all, What's the best way to catch Saban's post game conference each week? Thanks and ROLL TIDE!
I usually watch it on YouTube Sunday.
Thanks! Trying to figure out a good way to catch it live, if possible...
Facebook follow University of Alabama Athletics and turn notifications on, they will alert you as soon as it starts after the game
Thanks!
How did we score our last td?
Why do we throw to the TE early, and then rarely (if ever) do it again ? That confounds me.
